In Sanskrit, "ahimsa" means "abstaining from causing hurt or harm." Appropriately, the Seattle-based Himsa dropped the "a," thereby reversing the definition. Just as the true meaning of the word "himsa" varies from culture to culture, its relevance and significance to each band member varies - however, a single theme unites the meaning of the word for the quintet: pain.
